Hello,


I’m trying to develop a custom extension, but I’m facing an issue.

I’ve defined a button associated with action “Open Custom Extension” that points to my custom extension.

However in both case, I’m unable to retrieve the recordId of the line of the clicked button:



  • When extension panel is closed

  • When extension panel is opened


I’m trying to retrieve the “selectedRecordIds” but upon a button click, it remains empty…

Is it possible to retrieve this?

Is it possible for the custom extension, that the source event is a click on a button?


Thanks,

Raphael

You can get the triggering button using the recordActionData. This is different from the selectedRecordIds.

Hello @kuovonne, thank you for the quick answer.


If I understand the documentation well, it’s not possible to test the button in development mode but only when the app is released.

To test the useRecordActionData hook in a development mode, the Perform record action within the Advanced panel.

So the button actually fires no trigger in development mode, is that correct?

Correct. I usually create a formula field in the table that generates the record action data so that I can copy/paste the value into the Advanced panel for testing.
